Description
A fabulous Fine Art Print "The Little Flower Girl, Senlis" by Russell Flint the interior scene of a beautiful church Senlis, Oise France with the Little Flower Girl looking upward, captured in the typical Russell Flint style, signed in pencil to the bottom left. The top has the text "Published in 1961 by Frost & Reed Limited of Bristol and London England.
On exploring Senlis Russell Flint found that there was a beautiful church which once was a house of prayer but on visiting was more often used as a public building for weekly markets. This piece houses an interesting story, after befriending the foreman of the building and being given permission to paint an draw inside on a weekly basis Russell Flint became accustom to the building and practicing his craft. However, on one such evening it seems that no one had thought to fetch the painter before locking up, leaving him trapped inside of a medieval building. On realising his entrapment, he began exploring his surroundings and found a hollow passageway between the walls. With some further exploration it was found that there was a rusted sheet covering a broken piece of wall. After some effort the artist had freed himself from the building. Years later Russell Flint revisited this chapel and to his surprise found that his escape route had been replaced with masonry.
